Shiroi Heya no Futari, translated as Our White Room or Couple of the White Room, is one of the earliest shoujo yuri manga. First published in 1971, it is the story of a romance between two girls at a prestigious all-girls school in France.
[edit] Plot
The orphaned Resine decides, against her aunt's wishes, to attend the same boarding school as her mother. She finds it difficult to fit herself into the life of the school. Resine must also share a room with Simone, the rebellious daughter of a famous actress. Simone does not make Resine feel welcome, and Simone takes advantage of every chance she gets to cause trouble. Simone goes out late with boys, copies Resine's homework, and teases Resine every time she cries. In spite of everything, the two girls become closer, although Resine cannot name the feeling.
The school puts on a production of Romeo and Juliet - Simone is quickly chosen to be Romeo, whilst Resine is chosen to be Juliet. Resine expresses some worry about having to kiss Simone, but she is told that she can pretend to kiss Simone. On stage, however, their kiss is "passionate - and real".[1] After the play, Resine and Simone go into the woods, and kiss again. However, a girl who missed out on the role of Juliet saw them, and she begins to spread malicious gossip about the pair.
Resine tries to distance herself from Simone because of the gossip, and Simone tries to comfort her. First she tells Resine to ignore the gossip. Resine can't do that, though. Later, Simone takes Resine out on the town to find her a boyfriend. Resine throws her energies into dating her new boyfriend, and Simone becomes depressed. Simone and Resine have an argument. Resine runs away, going back to her aunt's house. Some months later, Resine learns that Simone died. She returns to the school to find out that Simone had incited one of her boyfriends to kill her. Resine swears to keep on living, forever loveless and alone.
